Given that the Bell investigation took such a dramatic turn, it took Voight nearly the whole hour to finally confront Devlin about the whole blackmail thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In case you need a refresher, the first half of the season saw the sergeant receive photos of himself as a child, laying injured in a hospital bed. The photos included writing scrawled across the top accusing Voight’s father of abusing him. And there was another message:\u00a0“Resign or this goes public.” Thanks to some light sleuthing, Voight learned that it was Devlin who was sending the threats.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the end of Wednesday’s episode, Voight finally sets Devlin straight. His father never laid a hand on him. Instead, Voight was simply “born screaming, fighting,” he said. He went searching for fights, and that photo of himself as an injured boy? He started a fight with two other kids over nothing at all.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“My father is the only reason there’s anything good in me,” Voight declares. “You got your story wrong.”<\/p>\n
Devlin, however, is unmoved. He says the truth doesn’t matter. He will spin those photos however he wants and tarnish Voight’s father’s legacy. He demands the sergeant turn in his badge \u2014 it’s the least Voight could do after ruining Devlin’s career! He forced Devlin to have his team reinstated, and now Devlin is seen as weak and spineless.<\/p>\n
But Voight refuses. In fact, he needs the badge to keep his cool. His father’s memory is tied up in that badge, and when he holds it, he feels him close.<\/p>\n
“If I didn’t feel my father near me right now, you wouldn’t live through this day,” he tells Devlin. The commander walks out, but we have a feeling there will be more fanning of the flames in this feud.<\/p>\n
Will Devlin carry out his threats and take his accusations against Voight’s family public?
